Distillers Put Hope in Law on Prohibition Issue
New York Feb 1 The executive committee of the Distillers Association after a secret session at the St Regis has concluded its only hope rests on federal recognition that prohibition cannot be legalized while state provisions are ignored. The association urges referenda in Arkansas California Colorado Idaho Maine Michigan Missouri Nebraska Nevada New Mexico Ohio Oregon Utah and Washington. The states have ratified but the distillers contend ratification is not final until the people vote. They expect Anti Saloon League influence to block filing petitions with secretaries of state, potentially delaying referendum issues to the Supreme Court.
